Basic Fly Tying: How to Tie in Mono Eyes

Dumbbell style monofilament eyes are used in many patterns, from tarpon flies to damsel flies. They give the fly the look you want without added weight. With the right techniques, mono eyes can be tied in quickly, securely, and exactly where they should be. Too many wraps, or wraps in the wrong place, can deform the eyes, folding them around the hook.
